4.7.3.12 Configuring DFS

The distributed file system (DFS) feature enables users to easily access and manage files that
are physically distributed across networks. DFS allows users to ignore the physical locations
of files they access. That is, files distributed on multiple servers are presented to users as if the
files reside in the same location on a network. Users can organize the shared folders that
reside on different computers on the same network to form a separate, logical, and
hierarchical shared file system.
